Firth NZILA Wānanga and Resene NZILA Awards 2026
Two-day conference and awards gala for New Zealand's landscape architects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, run by Tuia Pito Ora NZILA
Location: Majestic on Durham and One NZ Stadium at Te Kaha, Ōtautahi Christchurch
Date: 5 November 2026 to 6 November 2026
Tuia Pito Ora New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects holds its annual Firth NZILA Wānanga at Majestic on Durham in Ōtautahi Christchurch on 5 and 6 November 2026. The theme is Ka Rū Ka Hā, Awaken the Energy, and the two days look at how the profession responds to change across land, communities and practice. Registration opens at 8am on the Thursday and the programme closes around 4.30pm on the Friday.
The Resene NZILA Awards Gala Dinner is on Thursday 5 November at One NZ Stadium at Te Kaha, with arrivals from 6pm and the formal programme from 6.30pm. Full wānanga passes are $825 for members and $990 for non-members plus GST, with one-day, student and concession rates. Gala tickets are $180 for members and $220 for non-members and can be bought separately. A student wānanga runs at Lincoln University on 4 November.
It’s the one time in the year the country’s landscape architects gather in one room, and the awards set the benchmark for the profession’s work. For practices in Christchurch, the gala also offers an early look inside the city’s new stadium.
